Flowers for the wreath

In this wreath you will find lion's foot, thorn, rosebuds, baby's breath, santini, and prairie bell. Other flowers and green leaves that fit in a wreath are, for example: ivy, hydrangea, carnation, cornflower, daisies, and poppies. When you have selected your flowers, cut the stems so that they are approx. 5 cm long.

Attach the flowers to the wreath

Now it's time to attach the flowers to the wreath. Begin by tying the flower wire firmly on the outermost part of the steel wire. Take some flowers, wrap 2-3 times around the stems with floral wire. Then add new flowers and wrap them tightly. Remember to tighten well enough with the flower wire so that the flowers are stuck, but not too tight so that the flowers break. Continue wrapping in a few flowers at a time until the wreath is complete. Tie off the wire after the last round.
